RE:
Waiver request submitted by Alton Fabre, Jr., a former member of the Wild Caught Shrimp Trade Action Advisory Council, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 406 days late.
Facts:
Attorney John Henry submitted a waiver request along with the filing of his 2010 Tier 2.1 Annual Personal Financial Disclosure statement. The request states that Mr. Fabre's wife died July 2, 2010 and the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill completely overwhelmed Mr. Fabre. Mr. Fabre also suffers from multiple medical conditions including Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and Subclavian Artery Occlusive Syndrome.
